Because of my very intense workload, my recent illness was not given a chance to fully recover. In fact, it came back this past week, and I have been forced to stay off screen once again. I am sorry to tell the viewers of my blog that while I am still sick, my daily postings will probably remain sporadic in the next little while.

Don't Look back

I have been really sick since last Monday, and forced to stay off-screen. (No, it's not that goddamned virus.) Finally starting to feel better again ...

Can't believe it was exactly 25 years ago this month when Oasis released their legendary second album (What's The Story) Morning Glory. It's still one of my favourite. And from it my favourite track Don't Look Back In Anger:
